Top Salinas River State Beach Hotel Reviews

Monarch Valley Inn Marina at Monterey Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and simple, a good value. It’s next to a gas station and the office is inside the store, so it’s not a pretty resort hotel but an affordable and convenient place with friendly staff. Also the free coffee and bagged breakfast were pretty good, well thought out, with fruit and packaged items."

Captain's Inn at Moss Landing

8/10 Good

"Our first time with fully self check in. I had a little issue receiving access instructions, but was able to connect to someone over the phone and they were very helpful. Very charming building and decor and very conveniently located. I would stay again."

Comfort Inn Marina on the Monterey Bay

8/10 Good

"convenient location"

Hampton Inn & Suites Marina

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything was really clean, and the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast each morning. They had a great variety of options, including different hot breakfast items each day, coffee available at all times, cereal, pancakes, waffles, orange juice, and more. It was a great way to start our mornings! Although you do have to pay for parking, we felt it was well worth it considering the free breakfast and overall experience. What really stood out to us was how accommodating the staff was. They initially weren't sure if they had a pack 'n play available for our son, but they somehow managed to find one for us! We really appreciated them going out of their way to make sure our little one was comfortable. That extra effort meant a lot to us. There is also a Walmart 1 minute away which was super convenient for us! Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay with friendly staff who truly go above and beyond for their guests!"
